Our team at Safer STD Testing have spent thousands of hours gathering and curating the best STD Clinic locations nationwide. We're now providing this information free of charge for our audience looking for public, free or low-cost locations. We're constantly keeping our database of over 7000+ clinics updated, and relevant for our users.
We have a mission to provide substantial information for our users to go through and select from one of our curated list of clinics below, rather than randomly walking in to a location and not knowing what to expect.
Each location below has the address, phone, website URL, and the STD Test's that are available via our easy to search listing tool navigation. Our database also consists of locations that offer vaccination or accept insurance. Our users can select clinics within a certain radius and filter for the tests they want.
This page shows the sexual health statistics in the area. We've gathered this data with significant effort from multiple sources such as county population, number of reported cases, CDC reported incidence rate(per 100,000 people) and the breakdown of incidents for each type of STD.
Some clinics may advertise Free STD Testing, but that may not be the case. It's always advisable to call the location to ask about their qualifications for these programs. We have done our best to identify which clinics charge based on a sliding income scale such as Planned Parenthood.
We encourage our users to inquire about treatment options (if tested positive), results turnaround time and privacy at these public clinics before getting tested.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2ย provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.ย
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.ย
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.ย
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.ย
